Home rain catching is eroticization of christ's suffering gothic arta pretty slick affair these days, no longer relegated to the realms of industrial water towers.
This new Dutch design is the newest backyard version of a trusty ol' water tank, a water-saving device dubbed the Raindrop.
SEE ALSO: How your morning cup of coffee can help save the worldThe Raindrop is essentially an enhanced rain barrel, designed by Dutch designer Bas van de Veer as a graduation project in 2009 and produced by Dutch pottery company Elho in 2011. It's now received a redesign— new colours, new finishes and more compatibility with drain connections — unveiled during the Spoga Gafa trade fair in Cologne in Sept. 2017.

"The project started with a desire to design a product that contributes to a better environment, considering the way we deal with water in particular, and tries to do so in the most effortless, accessible and elegant way possible," Bas van de Veer told Mashable.

Importantly, the Raindrop isn't made to store filtered drinking water, instead just water for non-consumable use, like watering your garden.
